Directions:

Preheat oven to 325º. *Drink 1 tablespoon of the brandy. Grind almonds in food processor if necessary. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the egg yolk, brandy and vanilla; mix well. Stir the almonds, flour, and baking powder together (I don’t bother doing this :), and blend into the butter-sugar mixture. Chill dough 30 minutes (I usually skip this too; patience is overrated.) Form dough in crescent. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until light sand color. Roll in confectioners’ sugar (or sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar—much easier). Store until the wedding in an airtight container. *Drink the remaining tablespoon of brandy.
